Too Much Labor

You don’t even
Look the part
Yet here you are

☯️

Aesthetically
I can take care of it myself

☯️

Berating me
For my perceived knowledge
Gets you nothing

☯️

I know your
Snide glances
I’m not made of wood

☯️

I am wounded
A multidimensional person
Not a robot

☯️

Not here
To make your people
Feel emotionally competent

☯️

Trying to pretend
You got class
While insulting me

☯️

I don’t
Fit in
Your box

☯️

I am not
One dimensional
I can’t do too much labor

☯️

Yet there you are
Asking me
For too much

☯️

I am weary
But I have hidden
Wings

☯️

I like to
Perform
To do public speaking

☯️

I am not
Your yardstick
To make your mess look glossy or good

☯️

I don’t exist
Just to give you
Too much labor

☯️

None of your boxes
Are ever good
Enough

☯️

I like to
Put on a show
Get over it

☯️
